Remove Warning Before Deleting Items

SUMMARY: Prevent Outlook 2003 from warning you every time you forcefully delete a mail message, calendar item, or task.
 
Outlook 2003 normally warns you before you permanently delete items, either by selecting items and pressing SHIFT-DELETE, or by removing items from your Deleted Items folder. However, if you would rather skip this warning dialog and immediately force items to be deleted, you can do the following:

1. Click "Tools", selecting "Options".
2. When the "Options" multi-tabbed dialog box appears, select "Other".
3. Click "Advanced Options".
4. Uncheck "Warn before permanently deleting items".
5. Click "OK" on the two open dialog boxes to close them.

Note after selecting this option, once you decide to permanently delete items, they will be gone with no warning!
